Cars in German Town Found Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement Confirm

Incident location Affected vehicle Local Police
Police stated they were alerted by a man who discovered a car in Hanau smeared with reddish fluid

Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be blood from a person in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.

Cars, walls and postboxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.

The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.

Law enforcement then located many other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials say preliminary tests show the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not informed of any harm in association with the incident," they commented.

Local authorities announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have requested to the community for information.

An important representative said the attack left him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.

"This act strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack five years ago," he stated on a platform, referring to the killing of nine individuals by a assailant focusing on people of foreign heritage in five years prior.
